May have anticancer effects

Grape antioxidants may protect against some forms of cancer. Resveratrol, an antioxidant found in this berry, may aid by lowering inflammation, functioning as an antioxidant, and preventing cancer cell development and spread in your body. In fact, it has been examined for its anti-cancer properties.

Grapes also include antioxidants quercetin, anthocyanin, and catechin, all of which may have cancer-fighting properties. Grape extracts have been shown in animal and test-tube tests to inhibit the development and spread of human colon and breast cancer cells. In addition, a 2-week trial of 30 persons indicated that those over 50 who ate 0.3–1 pound (150–450 grams) of grapes per day had lower indicators of colon cancer risk. While additional human studies are needed, a diet rich in antioxidant-rich foods like grapes has been linked to a decreased risk of cancer.
